Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

Moana (2016)







Directed by: Ron Clements, Don Hall, John Musker, & Chris Williams

Written by: Jared Bush, Ron Clements (story), John Musker (story), Chris Williams (story), Don Hall (story), Pamela Ribon (story), Aaron Kandell (story), & Jordan Kandell (story)

Starring: Auli'i Cravalho & Dwayne Johnson


Finally another Disney film!

Moana (Cravalho) is on a quest to save her people by searching for the Demi-god Maui (Johnson) in order to convince him to give back the heart of Te Fiti.

This princess is lovable, funny, charming, and beautiful.  She shows that you don't need a man to rescue your village.  Maui isn't that helpful and there is no romance in the film, which is the nice trend that Disney continues.

Overall, I liked the film, except the crab part.  The crab looked more like a snail and creeped me out.  I guess it was supposed to be the villain, but it was barely in the film that it seemed unnecessary.  Couldn't they have created something else?

The person I went with noted that Maui was ugly and why couldn't he look more like Johnson.  My guess was because they didn't want the audience to think their relationship could develop romantically.  I thought he looked find.

Amazing music and very catchy.  Beautifully done, except the crab part.  4 popcorns.
